Private Investigator Play-Through

[Sonshine]

One note is that except for 1 case that required me to snoop for clues at the library or somewhere people read for free, the other two said to "snoop for clues at the park," but in reality one was at the police station and the other at the bistro. I think this boils down to an EA error. We'll see what happens when I get my comp repaired.

I remember the case where you must snoop at the library - worked fine for me.

[Sonshine]

Yes, they worked fine. I gave upon the one to snoop at the bistro b/c I got a bit confused w/it saying to snoop at the park. The second one where I had to snoop at the police station also said to "snoop for clues at the park."  It said park, but it was the police station. That's what I meant by EA error.

Click Sim --> NRaas --> Debug Enabler --> Options: Cell Phone --> Opportunities --> Add Opportunity --> Careers --> Case...

A list of cases appears. That's all I know.

I don't know if Mrs Flynn tried it yet or not, but I just did. I do not have Cell Phone in options, but I have Smart Phone. Under Opportunities--->Add Opportunity, this is all I have:

[MrsFlynn]

Thank you Sonshine, I did try the path that Nindigo shared!! I'm very grateful that she knew it and shared it!! Since I'm playing with just base game and Ambitions installed, I do have the cellphone options.

It's quite interesting playing with just the two installed.

Was playing the game and then I wanted to create a consignment shop. Gotta have an extra place to sell my harvestables. lol

[Nindigo]

Sonshine: I find it extremely odd that your snoop jobs are wrongly marked. I have never had that happen even once. How about you, MrsFlynn?

Sonshine: Below is how the smart phone menu looks in my game with everything installed. There is no difference between the cell phone and smart phone. However, besides Debug Enabler, I also use Master Controller and Master Controller Cheats which may account for the extra options present in my menu. Some of NRaas' mods do work together like that.

[MrsFlynn]

I think I found the options again... At first I was having a hard time finding them, as I wasn't following the correct path. *Blush*

Nraas Debug Enabler

Click Active Sim > Nraas > DebugEnabler > Options: Cellphone > See long list of options > Click on Opportunities > Add Opportunity > Careers > Click on Case > Long Case List

   ✦ See list of cases you can trigger via Nraas here

Careers


Click on Case

Thank you Nindigo for having me check the path in my new game. I really thought I was missing something. Another reasons our photos might be different is because we might be working with different mods, and game patch levels and maybe finding the case lists in different ways?  ?? 

- Original disc version - 1.67
- Using this mod to disable packs. It's called Sim Game Selector 3.0

On an unrelated note, I'm trying to play Miraj again in Twinbrook with only the packs that came before Ambitions enabled which are the World Adventures expansion pack and the High End Loft stuff pack. This should also limit the amount of conflicting scripts, I figure.

As for your point about patches, MrsFlynn...playing with the most recent patch should fix potential problems not dealt with by earlier patches, right? Sonshine, what patch/version of the game do you play with?

[MrsFlynn]

I think so?  I've been using patch 1.67 since it was released all those moons ago. lol

I took out a lot of mods and only left a few basic Nraas mods and routing mods.

You can see what I have in my notes here

[Nindigo]

Those freckles really are cute...

I'm going to have VJ and Miraj switch roles. Miraj really wants to be in regular Law Enforcement. So, I'm going to play an evil Private Detective with VJ instead. Starting with level 10 logic. This can be done by cheating, or by having the Sim live their first 2-3 days at the library.

On a more serious note, Anna and 1st Miraj both have only 5 cases or so to go. AP Miraj is done with his 11th case. Those are my current active PI saves. I have tossed any other PI saves I had. This one with VJ is new. Please don't judge me too harshly, lol.
